Would you like to submit any specific feedback on the proposals within Cockatoo Island / Wareamah Draft Master Plan?

The team have done an excellent job balancing the needs of retaining the important historical attributes and providing more opportunities for people to enjoy the facilities and learn about the island. I agree with all the proposals, including boat and kayak facilities, hospitality, enlarged camping/cabins, swimming pools and more events. One request - that we respect the current state of the island, which is baked in history, and only touch those things that must be upgraded for safety reasons. Everything else should be retained or restored in its current state (natural rust included!).
